    True. I should have said, "quotes from the Roman era."

    Although he managed to hang around in Italy with his army long enough that he could probably have qualified as a naturalized citizen....

    I suspect that there are just two sorts of lawyers: those who spend the efforts making life easy for other people – and parasites.

    Man is not a rational animal; he is a rationalizing animal

    there is nothing wrong with being scared. . . as long as you don’t let it affect you until the danger is over. Being hysterical is okay, too … afterwards and in private. Tears are not unmanly… in the bathroom with the door locked. The difference between a coward and a brave man is mostly a matter of timing.

    Robert Heinlein



    I have a higher and grander Standard of principle than George Washington. He could not Lie; I can, but I won’t.

    Mark Twain



    Just a few of my favorites.
